Hello fellow golfers. I was searching online for some golf tips and came about here. Ive only browsed a bit and already it seems like there is everything!

Anyway, a little bit about me...
I am a 16 year old sophmore and have been golfing for about 10 years, but only recently have I become really passionate about it. I am looking forward to warmer weather (I live near Milwaukee) when I can get out on the course a lot. I work as a bagger at a grocery store, and am currently looking for a caddie job this summer.

Besides golf, I am an avid baseball player (even more so than golfer), and would like to have a career as a sportscaster in my future.

Thanks guys!

Welcome to the forum man. Hope you enjoy your stay.

Well, being just a teenager I typically play the cheaper ones closer to home.

These are my main courses:
Songbird Hills
Ironwood
Brookfield Hills
Scenic View CC

Have you played those? What are your main courses? Any Suggestions?

I've played Scenic View and Kettle Hills. I love Kettle Hills' #2 with the big drop. That course is awesome.

I mostly play Milwaukee County courses, Whitnall Park in particular. I also like playing Rainbow Springs . I loved playing Nagawaukee but it's so expensive. I love Nagawaukee and Whitnall in particular, because of their "personalities". I've played a few other courses, but I'm really like unable to afford playing anywhere besides County courses. So what I typically do is just go to courses in the coupon books or courses I find coupons for in magazines.

Welcome, im 16 and also have been playing for over 10 years.

    • That's certainly "basic" information. I need a lot more info than just that for a good chunk of my even teen-handicap golfers.
    • As we said… define "better."
    • Phone launch monitors are only getting better.  The cameras are improving with each new generation of phone and software is getting more accurate.  It is only a question of time before phone apps are good enough for all the basic information a golfer needs (club head speed, ball speed, carry distance, total distance).  It makes me wonder about the value of launch monitors in the long run, barring high level amateurs and professionals who want very accurate data and more parameters
    • I live in South India so temperatures are virtually never cold enough to stop play.  Just that the monsoon can make play difficult.  I am just not willing to play in the rain and kind of reluctant to play when the ground is soggy and balls are plugging all the time.  And since we don't have snow here, any time the ground is dry enough I am willing to play
    • Just listened to episode 8 - I really enjoyed this one. The vegetable analogy is great IMO. Candy is fun and gives you the instant high, but if you only eat candy you're not going to be feeling too good. Vegetables don't give you that instant high, but they keep you healthier and long term you'll feel much better.  For what it's worth, for me, sometimes I want something that is going to help me shoot a better score on Saturday and others I want to improve something about my swing that will make me better long term even if I struggle a little in the short term. It's up to me to communicate that with my coach.  Last comment - I would indeed share the hope that every lesson leaves the player "better" than they were on the way in. I would imagine if you have a good coach and good student, then the only time that doesn't happen is when you leave the lesson with it going so badly that you just revert to the old pattern.
